It should be possible for some recipients to donate plasma after they recover. So if pfas levels are a real concern, there’s an easy solution for at least some of the recipients.

I can only imagine how upsetting this must be for you and your family. I just hope that after you’ve had some time to process, that your son finds a way forward that brings him closer to the future he wants for himself. Just a bit of unsoli

I don’t know, we’ve had staged content presented as reality for a long time(ie almost all “reality” tv) and we seem to be doing ok. The TikTok content you’re describing doesn’t feel terribly different from that.

I've always felt a connection to this story in my professional life. I've been in enough rooms full of "ideas people" who will spend an entire meeting talking about tools that should exist or processes that need to be ch

Outside of gaslighting's original context in a relationship, I often see it used to refer to a form of strawman argument. I read the gaslighting comment as saying that the person knows that virtualization in the form before Kubernetes

I think the RPA is way overhyped, especially the "ML" features of the big players. But from what I've seen, it does have it's place in the enterprise. There are two primary types of RPA, attended and unattended. Unatten

We used Casbin at my previous company where we needed to implement RBAC on top of our API that was written in Go. What we liked about it was that it could be embedded directly in our main application without needing to administer an externa

Yeah and those numbers seem in line with what others have reported in HN meta threads on the topic, and at least an n of 1 personal experience. I totally get it when it’s a game or some other server intensive thing. Guess caching is an afte

Do you have a source that confirms LingQ filed the motion? It seems like the most likely explanation, but I haven’t been able to find much more context here outside of the update to sourceforge.

Jamplay has a lot of traditional video tutorials for all levels. Yousician has some fun guitar hero-esque tutorials if you’d like more interactive feedback.

I subscribe to EatThisMuch for a lot of this stuff. I think calorie counting through meal prep makes a lot of sense and EatThisMuch does a solid job of allowing me to do things like set macros, black list certain ingredients, account for my

Find one friend. I’ve moved around a lot since college, and have had to build a social network from scratch a few times with varying degrees of success. While the advice to join a social activity centered around a shared interest is solid,

I'm in the process of porting a reasonably complex hobby app that I built in RN to Flutter. Things I like better about Flutter: - Cleaner upgrades. For mere mortals like myself, RN can be really painful to upgrade sometimes. This is im

Resistance bands, a pull-up bar and a TRX go a long way for a fraction of the cost and space of a gym. Not as effective as free weights (in my personal experience) for putting on a lot of new muscle, but still quite effective.

This article is about a study done on mice. Having not read the underlying study, and it not being my field, I can't speak to how well the article articulates the study's findings, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss

Nothing high tech. Started out monitoring failed deliveries and sent out verification requests manually to get over the first week or two. I noticed it was failing consistently on Microsoft domains, so contacted the provider and they reassi

Good point, I mean user name and password, with an initial verification email. If you use the email option, you can't get into the app without first clicking a verification link in an email. That caused a few headaches after launch wh

My 2 cents, do more to try to fix the environment you're in. If you're adding the kind of value it sounds like you are, then you might have more power than you realize. Worst case scenario they push you out, in which case you&#x27

For training your ear, I'd recommend finding Colombian shows, which tend to speak slower and are usually easier for new learners to engage with. The boundaries between words are not as clear as we perceive them to be in our native lang

I second the Michel Thomas recommendation. What it gives you is a good ear for more complicated grammatical structures. There's no getting around putting in the work to build your vocabulary, but it really helps bridge the gap between

I benefit from the fact that articles are processed and tagged at the time of collection. So getting this list is just a matter of looping over the structured data that make up the articles I send down to clients.

Italian, English, German, Russian German might happen before English depending on how much ground I cover supporting more navigation languages. Beyond that I'd need to do some research on which languages to support.

Thanks! I'm not planning to support Arabic any time soon, but from a tools and data set perspective it's possible. I'd just need to invest the time to research the language and talk to users about challenges specific to that

Thanks for checking out the app. Dutch support would probably be a ways out. I think I'm going to need to eventually decide if I want to support languages before I have a lemmatizer in place. For me lemmatization is Langliter's k
